Help re build table

[Ryan]

Hello all.

Joined the forum the other day but this is my first actual post here. purchased "the book" around a month ago and since then have been dreaming none stop about building a roadster. I am still in the planning stages at the minute but hoping to get started in the next month or so. My mechanical knowledge is fairly ok, after having to repair lots of my cars before! Whilst I have worked with engines etc before I have never attempted anything like this…….Its still a little daunting. Just wondering if people could offer me any advice around building a build table, Do I just buy the ply and timber and screw it together? How do I know that this will be a true flat surface? Also, the lines that I need to draw on the top of the wood, are these the measurement lines? Or do I actually draw the lines where the metal should sit?

All these questions and I haven’t even stated my build yet! Sorry about that!

Cheers, Ryan.
